Jesus Seminar

The Jesus Seminar was a group of scholars focused on studying the historical Jesus by examining ancient texts and sources. They aimed to identify which sayings and actions of Jesus are most likely to be authentic historical facts, using a voting system to assess their confidence levels. Their work involved critical analysis of biblical texts, historical context, and archaeological findings. The Seminar sought to differentiate between historically plausible sayings and later theological additions, providing a scholarly perspective on Jesus's life and teachings beyond religious traditions.
